Cornel West

On the Love Train quest!

Integrity

Honesty

Decency

Love

These spirited attributes constantly being put to the economic social and political test!

Professor West

Cuts radically against the grain

Black Reconstruction politics era regained

Invested in the W.E.B. Dubois styled societal socialist class conquest

Contemplation of his oration

Thus is to find for the mind

Inheriting as it were

A wave of historical truth and deliverance of pain

Washed over historical pusillanimous

Purportedly pure and politically plain

The Professor’s oratory is by Design

An intellectual properly contextualized treasure chest

Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world she walks into mine!

Mama Kitty and the movie-land Walter Mitty!

Papa! The Old Movie to VHS Tape Mastermind!

Thespian roles by Humphrey Bogart

James Cagney

Errol Flynn

The Zorro Serials

King Kong (original)

Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce)

Along with instructions on the exploits of Babe Ruth

Joe Dimaggio (The Greatest)

Mickey Mantle

And dissecting and prospecting New York Yankees games!

All in the Family television moments to wonder at Pop’s sudden display of emotions!

Windows through time into his personality

Thoughts and notions!

He would invite you to watch the early film masterpieces

And suddenly become emotive and outspoken!

Tears would flow down his cheeks!

As he opened up inside!

I could hear his mind opine!

The subtext of Don Joseph Reith’s greatest dreams

And reality intertwined

Whereas generally these displays of expressive reaction

From Pops

Were hard to find!

The inability to show his feelings were a tell-tale sign

Of his Silent Generation Silver Screen times

These classics seemed dipped with a magic psychosomatic potion

Here was the solitary place Father

Would enter into the emotive world!

Dad’s wildest dreams unfurled

Inside the focused lens of the cinematic sublime

How much money have we spent in Afghanistan?

What has the United State war accomplished there in 20 years?

Families of combatant soldiers

Civilian tears

Why should we put more domestic American tax-paying trillion dollars in arrears?

Can military Imperialism overtake all obstacles?

Other than wasting more time and joy

Lives

With our military toys?

Burning structures and capital

Soldiers and civilian casualty tears

Best to leave well enough alone

Allow Israel to strive for peace in their abode?

Let the Afghani’s and Taliban

Iran

Settle their ancestral home

Did not Constantine?

The Barbarians and the Vandals

Lead to the fall of Rome?

Shalt we deal more honestly?

Natural resources are not mined for democracy

Economy?

With integrity

For posterity

Our international and domestic

Oil induced and created

Terrorist fears

Weapons of Mass Destruction?

Nuclear bombs

Middle East Wars for Years

Does nil for American families

Only offering up combatant and civilian tears

Have to give it up for KD and the American team

When the Olympic Games started their play was not super clean

Then Milwaukee Buck Champs

Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton

And post-season runner-up Phoenix Sun Devin Booker

Came on the basketball scene

Soon the USA Basketball team started playing a stifling defense and running the offense like hoop-star fiends!

France at first glance

Did not seem to belong in the Big Dance

With the prodigious NBA All-Stars

Yet Rudy Gobert (Utah Jazz), Evan Fournier (NY Knicks), Nicolas Batum (LA Clippers) and point guard Nando De Colo (Knicks should sign immediately) ignited a winners-take-all war!

If you put Kevin Durant on the French roster

As The Black Panther Imposter!

I believe then the story would go

The Frenchman celebrating

Paris wins the 2021 Olympic Basketball gold!

Yet Kevin Durant proved like fine wine from the Napa Valley

The best athletes age swell!

As his gifted American superstar performance

Cool as a cucumber

Primed to excel

Show-and-Tell!

Never gets old

On Economic Social and Political Debate with a Republican

The intention is to bully the “other”

Into realizing the superior way

First by misrepresenting

“The radical left’s point of view”

In a macabre mocking

And fearful hyperbolic sway

Creating the distortion

Then arguing against the abortion

If the other does not adhere

To how the Republican “instructional conversation?” is played

Then the citizen protesters are deemed anti-patriotic

Socialist

Communist

Against the police

Flag destroyers

National anthem dissenters

Pledge of allegiance dismissers

Christmas anti-carolers

Enemies of God

And assigned to the anti-citizens plague

Truth

Reason

Democratic debate

Does not mitigate the distorted disinformation

Of its devoted MAGA believers

Part in parcel of the perennial

Superior Consumers!

Anti-progressive political outrage machine outbreak

Praying fervently for the return of the Narcissistic One!

The actors in the play to sway violently against the democratic instinct

To create the return of the Fuhrer-istic

Wholly Business Oligarchs and Fascist state

How fortunate am I!

As I traversed mirthful

To and fro

My sagacious hounds

Black Labrador Milly and blue-nosed pit-bull Nahla alongside

At my obedient masterly beck and call

Transversing along the sunny Rockaway Beach oceanic shoreline

My! Oh! My!

What will I find!

Bounding buoyantly above the waves

A school of jet black dolphins!

Merrily bobbing their dorsal fins up and down!

By the bye!

The merry school of dolphins sketching a wonderful mosaic

Juxtaposed against the sunny NYC blue sky-line

I can attest from yonder beach sands

None of the jubilant porpoised ones wore frowns!

After a brief walk and repose

My staunch steadfast pooches and I

Stopped

Savoring the coolest of shadows

On the steps of a quaint old neighborhood church

I felt a lurch?

A hunch!

Nay! A fervent need!

To read!

A sumptuous tome

The Intellectualist’s Gourmet

As I approached the public library

I mused

To thine own self be true!

I softly

Intimately

Innerly queried

Shalt their be a rich set of printed works

Have its presence known

Atop the informational

Educational

Interesting

Sensational!

Newest books arrayed shown literary shelfs up for revue?

Make my day!

Or a bunch of mis-mash

Literary scaliwags!

From the lower end theory

As if narrated by Siri

Well whattaya know!

Este tome should have come adorned with a big red bow!

A fascinatingly new book on science and the gifted poet

Edgar Allan Poe!

I instantly realized in full with my new reading materials in tow

This is the day my fortunes are turning!
Smiling widely!

Convinced of the fruits

Bared wholly

On my epic

Local journey

Having walked out into environment and fresh air

My thoughts at once!

Becoming supernaturally clear

Entering wistfully

Quite blissfully on my new healing path

Savor the blue skies and green grass!

Close down the worry factory with its frightening past!

I hath entered the palliative path

The black hole exit fading

Presently into the past

Onto the future!

As my humble hounds

Millie and Nahla gazed upon me

Beckoning me to run wild with them

Gleefully!

In the glistening green grass

Ignorance precludes learning

One does not commit racist acts

Cause he/ she is discerning

One does not expect rodents

To stay out of the garbage

Such it is with vermin

Nazis are not always German

Facts

Truth

Honesty

Do not always determine

History lessons will not convert all from their societal subversion

Trapped in their own man-made cage

With their insolence and perversion

So it is!

With the Superior Racecraft mindset

Haughty unholy beings internment

Mankind needs for superiority sentiments to assimilate a sojournment

The act of racism

“Whiteness and blackness” energized

By a kind of Witchcraft

Carried on each generation

The man-made creation

Racecraft created the social anti-benevolent atmosphere

To spread like a menacing wild-fire

American Doctors

Lawyers

Policemen

Congressmen

Presidents and Commoners alike

Supported the vicious Indian occupation

And pernicious enslavement of black and brown population

Societal subjugation

Reinforced by a sinister insinuation

Held up as Gospel

Is the feeling of superiority possible?

In every “white” racist’s constitution

As supernatural intuition

The hegemonic eugenic presentation!

American Indians and Negros were branded niggers and savages!

Inherently

The sole evidence provided for their supposed inferiority?

The proof to compute to humanity cruel

Their cultures’

Native lands

And skin pigmentations

Thus initiated the “Savage” and “Nigger” pursual

The pre-school aged sagacious girl noticed

Avarice Avarice!

It’s spoken with an awful hiss!

She had seen the effects

On Dear Father’s Ezzie’s attempts

To be free of its voracity

His money-making lust growing in audacity

And when it seeps surreptitiously

Inside ones body and soul

It intimates proudly

For riches

Power

Gold

At once its wretched plans take hold!

To set an angels heart

From the illuminating warmth

Of soul-piercing sun-rays

To dank dark outer-space

A place bereft of feeling

Bitterly cold

The white cockerspaniel dog

Barked smugly at the black sheperd hound

Know your place man!

This is a race land!

Wag your tail if you dare

At the Racecraft

Jive dingo turkey!

The black and gray tail bolted upright

Then moving quite herky-jerky

I don’t believe the color of my coat defines me!

The One

Who hath designed me

Hath provided a superior nose

The ability to track down friends and foes

Why these humans at Westminster even give me a show!

What manner of wolfish reason do you suppose?

Would select the dark tincture of my fur

To subject me to the dingy alleys and shallows?

Every living animal knows this is preposterous!

Don’t you suppose?

By your reasoning Mutt!

Uttered the indignant Merry Spaniel

The verdant luscious lands would be fallow!
